ISIS International, Inc. was founded in 1982 to assist upper management of enterprises to rapidly increase profitability through aggressive, market-driven technology commercialization and product innovation. To accomplish this, ISIS created proprietary, market-driven systems, which in close collaboration with the client and the market, systematically accelerate:Technology commercialization and partnering Technology value assessment and market targeting Technology in- and out-licensing Business growth and value creation Breakthrough product & technology innovation To date, over $27 billion in new, near-term business opportunities have been generated for North American and European clients. ISIS functions as a specialized "trusted intermediary" between leading technology developers, technology users and key players in the market to accurately target and accelerate implementation of product, technology and business innovation and commercialization. As noted by the Vice President R&D of Dow Chemical's Performance Plastics & Chemicals Portfolio: "We've been able to launch products into the marketplace much more quickly, with a much higher success rate. They (ISIS) manage to line up the senior decision makers, not just from purchasing, but from sales and marketing and research, so that when you actually go in for the first time to meet them, they have the team there that can make the decision. That's account penetration like we do not ever get unless we do ISIS." The former President of Kimberly-Clark Professional Healthcare Products noted: "My personal analogy in working with them was it was something like sticking your finger in an electric socket with the resulting shock giving you clear insight and resolve about what to do/where to go -- with urgency. As a result, cost of commercialization and speed to market greatly benefited." Client Programs are tailored from one of twenty service models which are built upon our proprietary Summit Business Development Systemsm, MarketDiscoverysm and Precision Innovation® methodologies. All ISIS programs are personally managed and implemented by senior professionals, with additional insight and guidance from members of our Business and Technology Advisory Board. Each client program is driven by the direct involvement of relevant "Industry Opinion Leaders" who are highly placed business and technology executives/decision-makers from market leading domestic and global companies. These individuals -- who manage and shape direction for the world's most influential companies -- represent the interests of their companies as potential stakeholders in the outcome of our clients' Programs. Consequently, ISIS services are heavily market-driven and promote immediate cooperation between these participating Industry Leaders and our clients' top management. Results lead directly to product and application development, sales, alliances, licenses and acquisitions.
